3 Information on the Current Version and History 1 Information on the Current Version and History 1.1 Version Released: October 2015 Documentation updated. 1.2 Version Released: April 2013 Fixed Issues Possibly too many attenuation adaption related invalid measurements, if one analyzer handled more than one signal R&S ETL: Preamplifier configuration error if drive test started with a very high input level (>-33 dbm) R&S ETC, R&S ETH: Some certain analyzer configurations could cause invalid echo pattern measurements KMZ export: The KMZ output file was not written to the user defined directory, but the application directory instead, if multiple drive test result input files had been selected Known Issues Drive test result.(dtr) files created by software version 3.12 cause software version 1.00 to crash on access. => Replace all software versions 1.00 by version Version Released: February 2013 New Functionality R&S ETL: Support of R&S TSMX-PPS2 GPS receiver R&S ETL: New measurement mode with less attenuation adaption, if no direct adjacent channels are present KMZ export: Multiple drive test result (.dtr) input files with same RF standard and frequency can be combined into a single KMZ output file KMZ export: Added two new spot indicators to also represent average or best values occurred within an area apart from the default indicator for the worst value Release Notes

4 Information on the Current Version and History KMZ export: Selection of measurements, colors, indicators and maximum zoom resolution for the output file KMZ export: Possibility to change level unit and to assign a manual k-factor or level offset CSV export: Multiple input files can be selected even with different RF standards or frequencies Modified Functionality KMZ export: Runs 10 times faster Fixed Issues R&S ETL: Preamplifier was never used if drive test started with a very high input level (>-33 dbm) KMZ/CSV export: K-factor was not always taken into account for field strength results CSV export: Value precision exceeded measurement precision Known Issues Drive test result.(dtr) files created by software version 3.10 cause software version 1.00 to crash on access. => Replace all software versions 1.00 by version Version Released: November 2012 New Functionality R&S ETC Compact TV Analyzer supported (DVB-T, ISDB-T & DVB-T2) R&S ETL: ATSC Mobile DTV measurements supported R&S ETL: DVB-T2 MISO echo pattern measurement supported R&S ETL: Partial ISDB-T layer reception supported R&S ETL: DAB / T-DMB C/N measurement supported R&S ETL: ATSC FEC Sync required setting supported R&S ETL: BCDRIVE can be launched using the MODE key All measurements in a KMZ file are available in all three spot sizes Support of different color profiles for KMZ files Interpolation of missing GPS coordinates (e.g. in tunnels) for KMZ files Level, sync & GPS status update also during stopped or paused drive test Modified Functionality The 32 bit edition now also runs on 64 bit operating systems. Thus the 64 bit edition R&S Broadcast Drive Test 64 is no longer needed and therefore discontinued (see chapter 3.4) R&S ETL, R&S ETC: Improved precision of GPS speed measurement R&S ETL does not support 10 MHz channel bandwidth for DVB-T2 Improved file selection for export of drive test result files Release Notes

5 Information on the Current Version and History Faster KMZ file export Improved drag & drop behavior for the signal selection view During drive test: Display of remaining memory instead of maximum speed Improved remote control efficiency Fixed Issues R&S ETL: Possibly absolute instead of relative levels in DVB-T2 echo pattern R&S ETL: Possible freeze or timeout of GPS configuration dialog R&S ETH: Possibly wrong indication of supported mobile measurements R&S ETH: Did not initialize correctly when running in certain spectrum modes On some systems, connected TV analyzers could not be detected Possible timeouts when scanning multiple frequencies with high level offset Possible wrong analyzer initialization, if different analyzer types were detected Although the speed unit was set to [mph], export was still done in [km/h] On some systems, dialog fonts were displayed in the wrong size Some message boxes caused a high CPU load.csv export files lacked a carriage return character before the line feed character Known Issues Drive test result.(dtr) files created by software version 3.00 cause software version 1.00 to crash on access. => Replace all software versions 1.00 by version Version Released: December 2011 New Functionality R&S ETH Handheld TV Analyzer supported (DVB-T & ISDB-T) R&S ETL: Mobile measurements and Multi-PLP supported for DVB-T2 R&S ETL: Stationary measurements supported for analog TV standards R&S ETL: Sync measurement for FM stereo standards R&S ETL-B310 option supported for DVB-T2 GPS configuration for R&S ETL or R&S ETH Modified Functionality Exported KMZ files are processed significantly faster by Google Earth and require 60% less disk space Fixed Issues TV analyzer IP addresses ending on.235 or higher were not handled properly Incorrect handling when more than five TV analyzers were detected Erroneous share indication for parameter results within.kmz files R&S BCDRIVE did not execute on 64 bit operating systems Release Notes

6 Information on the Current Version and History Known Issues Drive test result.(dtr) files created by software version 2.00 cause software version 1.00 to crash on access. => Replace all software versions 1.00 by version Version Initial release: July 2011 Release Notes
